every so often I think about the line in scott westerfeld's 'leviathan' that goes something approximately to the tune of 'girls check their nails with their palm down and their fingers out, boys check their nails with their palm up and their fingers curled,' and then I think about how younger me read that for the first time and instantly became worried that she was not doing gender right.

#dear past self: in a few years you will figure out something quite interesting about yourself #there were a couple of other incidents like that [see also my many years of Refusing to properly gender myself in french]#but this is definitely the funniest one in hindsight #on another note: the sheer companionship between me and the guy sitting here in the kitchen eating cup ramen at 12:30am #lads who didn't finish their work yet do indeed chill together in silence
